Once our team of up to 12 dogs is hooked up to the ATV and we leave the yard there will be silence. Everybody is focused on their job. Depending on the temperatures we will be spending 30 to 45 min on the trail. Back in the yard you are encouraged to help feed and water the dogs and give them all a big thank you cuddle.

Muktuk is a team who make your dreams come true! So good planned tours which include everything that it is possible to do in that area: - Dogs sliding in the winter snowy forest - we saw the dog's behavior and specific of each role of each dog n this process :) - Dogs feeding and petting them :) in the free time - each dog is a real person with own character and mood, but all are so kind and cute :) - Natural reserve with many unusual animals. We saw a lot!!! just for 1 day: goats, moose, elks, caribous, foxes, ground squirrels, lynxes, muskoxen :) - Cozy night fire on the river shore in the night, - Stanning views from river shore hills in the day time, - North Lightening - it is amazing experience! We are waiting for it and it appeared in the early morning :) Manuela did pictures of us with the Lightening on her professional camera :) Spent with us few hours on the cold to do the best pictures with different views to provide us with the best memories :) - We also saw how low is the sun in the winter time even in the midday time - so interesting experience :) have never seen it before :) Manuela and her husband are very hospitable, met their quests in airport. Manuela cooks so great food - much tasty that in any restaurant I have ever tried! So warm and cozy evenings with fireplace in amazing comfortable wood house with cup of tea and sharing interesting stories about the dogs and life in North area :) And of course - some cute and gentle dogs are the part of these evenings :) Very warm and comfortable in the house, hot water in the shower, so clean and made with love to the quests :) Thank you so much! Really recommend Muktuk! Ad definitely - plan to come back there again!

From the moment one of the owners, Jeff, and his four-legged co-pilot Little One met us at the Whitehorse airport, we knew that Muktuk Adventure’s description as “A Place for People who Love Dogs” is the truth they live by. The lodge where we stayed has the rustic charm of a real off-the-grid, environmentally friendly and super comfortable log cabin in the Northern wilderness. The rooms are so cozy and neatly decorated, just what we needed for a long, relaxing sleep after staying up watching the fantasy that is the Aurora Borealis from the cabin’s deck, accompanied by two of the friendly resident dogs. The food, hand made by Manuela, is delicious, healthy, and so abundant, that we felt absolutely spoilt. They also cater to vegetarians and will go the extra mile to accommodate the guests’ every need. The activities they offer are exactly what we dreamed of. We had a fun, fast paced ride with some of the sled dogs, whose enthusiasm is contagious; they could barely wait to start pulling the vehicle. It is very reassuring for dog lovers like us, to see how the owners respect and care for their dogs, and we even had the chance to help harness, feed, and water the dog team before and after the ride. Later we had a walk to the Takhini river with Jeff and a bunch of non-working dogs and an afternoon visit to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, with our own expert and knowledgeable guide Manuela, who showed us and told us the story of amazing arctic wild animals we had seen only on documentaries! They have their own wide, natural space, up close yet safe for them and the visitors. Muktuk Adventures is perfect to immerse yourself in the real Canadian North, to share the love for dogs and nature in comfort, safety and a home-like place where you wish you could stay forever.

Not only did I experience an adventure of a lifetime between riding the ATV pulled by the dogs and canoeing down the stunningly beautiful Takhini River, Manuela and Jeff make you feel like you are part of their family. Their kids may be over a 100 well-trained, adorable dogs, but you'll leave feeling like you're one of the clan.
